A HISTORY OF G.I. JOE WAR CRIMES

POSTED BY Seymour Hersh | FRIDAY AUGUST 7 AT 10:05 PDT 

By Seymour Hersh, Investigative Journalist

To most Americans, the G.I. Joes are an elite fighting force, made up of our nation’s best and brightest, who risk their lives to safeguard our country and its values. But like most patriotic fairy tales, the truth is far more disturbing. From the My Lai Massacre to Abu Ghraib, the G.I. Joe’s have been behind every major atrocity of the past forty years. Time and time again the Joes have jeopardized American national security in order to advance their own narrow agenda.  

What began in the late 60’s as a special forces unit has grown into the most powerful, and arguably most corrupt, military organization in the world. The success of the Joes can be attributed to the ruthless leadership of Major General Clayton M. Abernathy, better known as General Hawk.  Hawk, whose wealthy Denver family bought his way into West Point, positioned the Joes to ride the patriotic wave of Ronald Reagan’s America to the height of their power in the mid-eighties. After some lean years under Bill Clinton, the Joes found themselves back on top after the events of 9/11.

Today the Joes are a reactionary fighting force, pimping themselves to any tin-pot dictator or unscrupulous corporation that needs a problem to ‘disappear.’ They continue to use the endless “War on COBRA” to justify their corrupt pursuit of power for power’s sake. The follwing details the Joes' history of murder, drug trafficking, and other crimes.

    Holy shit that was a good idea.
  2. Says:
    what the hell is a "solider"?
  3. Says:
    So what part of this is supposed to be interesting or funny?
  4. Buckminster Schumacker III Says:

    Oh, all of it.The misspelling of "soldier" was more funny than interesting, though.

  5. Says:
    There's misspelling all over the place here. Not something I'd want to read.
  6. Says:
    You mean, "There are" misspelling all over the place here."
  7. Says:
    You mean, "There are" misspellings all over the place here."
  8. Says:
    There might be misspellings but the story is more than true, albeit with different names perhaps.. There is only one so called `civilized` country in this entire world that was barbaric enough to use nukes on civilians, twice.. Go on just take notice of the misspelled letters because English language is the most important thing! on Earth
  9. Says:
    Oh, Right.... What we did with the nukes was barbaric. The Japanese never committed any atrocities in WW2. Your an idiot.
  10. Says:
    Who would have thought this article would have lead to a serious conversation about WWII.
  11. Buckminster Schumacker III Says:

    Also, the Japanese are responsible for Transformers 2, indirectly.  I smell sequel to this post, in which the Joes travel back in time and fly the Enola Gay over the Takara Company in Tokyo.  No giant Transforming robots in disguise... no HASBRO co-opt... yes... yeeeeessss... it's all coming together!

  12. Says:
    "Go on just take notice of the misspelled letters because English language is the most important thing! on Earth" I think you may need to brush up on your own skills.
  13. Says:
    If you are going to make jokes about tragedies and shameful incidents, at least make them funny jokes. Tasteless and funny is good, tasteless and lame, not so much.
  14. Buckminster Schumacker III Says:

    I'll write that down.
